Listing Details

Welcome to Forest Cove—an equestrian-friendly, conservation-focused community where nature and recreation come together. This waterfront parcel on Susan Lake offers private waterfrontage on one of Northern Michigan’s designated “Small Gem Lakes,” known for its peaceful waters, scenic beauty, and excellent fishing. Susan Lake is spring-fed, surrounded by protected land, and flows into Lake Michigan via Susan Creek. Located on the east side of the lake, this parcel enjoys sunnier exposure and a better lake bottom, making it better for swimming. There’s also ample space to add a private dock—ideal for launching a boat, kayak, or paddleboard, or simply enjoying a swim right from your dock. As part of the Forest Cove Association, owners enjoy access to over 175 acres of shared-use conservancy, including hiking and wildlife trails, along with a private equestrian facility featuring a well-maintained barn and fenced corral. Protective covenants preserve the natural beauty and privacy of the area. The lot offers a gentle slope to the shoreline—ideal for building a custom home with walkout potential. All just minutes from downtown Charlevoix and centrally located to both Petoskey and Boyne City, this property is a truly rare find for those seeking peaceful lakefront living in a thoughtfully preserved setting.
